7ECA Engine Change

Can anyone tell me if they have upgraded a 7ECA from the O235 to the O360 or some other engine? I am being told buy some local owners that this is a pretty common upgrade. It must require an STC does anyone know of one? Is it worth the trouble or should I stay with a 115hp. I am either going to upgrade or sell it and buy a Decathon I'm thinking because I'm getting close to needing to do an engine. What advise do you have for me.

If you are able to just buy an airplane with the desired powerplant, I would just do that.
Save yourself the greif.

Service letter 430 is coming though. Allows an O-320-B2B to be put on based on similarity to the modern 7GCAA.
